Here’s How You Can Make Money With Infolinks – Infolinks Review 2017

Since most new blogs don’t receive banner advertising, sponsored reviews and have less knowledge about affiliate marketing or selling their own products, they fail to make any money from their blog.

But Adsense is not the end to monetize a blog, there are different Google Adsense Alternatives, which can be used to monetize a blog. One advertising network that has been able to show its mettle over a short span of time is infolinks.

One thing you will like about Infolinks right away is the fact that it is easy to set up, and once you have set it up, you don’t have to do much! Infolinks will automatically start showing ads on your blog, and you will start making money right away.

Now before you jump for joy and sign up, you should know that it takes time to earn any decent income from Infolinks. You need to have good search engine traffic, ensuring that you get traffic from countries like the U.S. and the U.K. in order to earn high CPM on Infolinks.

Infolinks has been working for many years and has built trust among different ad publishers. Yes! They do pay on time, which is 45 days after reaching payment threshold.

Payment terms at infolinks are quite favorable. A 70% revenue share is one of the best in the business, even ahead of the 68% that Google AdSense publishers take home for display ads. Plenty of payment options are available, including PayPal, wire, eCheck, Western Union, ACH, and Payoneer. And a Net-45 payout is reasonable.

The only question is whether or not you’ll ever reach the $50 minimum payout to actually receive payment. In testing Infolinks on our site in the technology vertical, we were able to achieve a $0.66 RPM, meaning we would need to generate 76,000 pageviews just to reach the minimum payout of $50.

If your site is generating hundreds of thousands of pageviews a month, this should not be an issue. But if your site generates fewer than 10,000 pageviews a month, just be aware that you may go several pay periods without receiving a check from Infolinks.

Advantages of Infolinks!

Easier to Get Approved and Integration – Google Adsense takes up to 7 days to get approval/rejection status with complicated steps. For Infolinks you’ll be notified within 72 hours and once approved, configuring ads from its dashboard is fairly simple. It’s the best-designed dashboard I’ve seen from any advertising network.

Doesn’t require Advertisement space – Since Infolinks is an in-text advertisement network, it does not require you to allot any real estate space on your website, thus giving content more precedence over ads.

Doesn’t affect Website Speed – Infolinks code is placed at the bottom of your website, it does not affect loading speed at all. Infolinks ads are loaded after every element on a webpage gets loaded.

Possible Disadvantages

Less Payment for Asian Traffic – There are many American publishers making over $1500/month by using very few ad units of Infolinks. For Asian traffic it’s not that best as it offers less CPM and CPC compared to American and European traffic.

Number of Ads – Infolinks allows a max of 12 in-text ad links and other advertising types. According to my experience, using all this ad types can make your site look bad. I’d suggest using only 2-3 in-text links alongside in-tag and in-fold ads.

If you compare the cons of Infolinks with Adsense, there are very few and can be easily worked upon.

Overall, Infolinks is a great idea that simply lacks execution. It may be a lack of quality advertisers, a lack of good technology, or both.

Whatever the case, ad relevancy and therefore revenues are certainly not one of infolinks’ strengths. That said, if you are seeking an alternative to traditional display advertising, they should be considered. Signup and tech implementation is so easy, that testing (even if only for a few days) is worthwhile so you may decide for yourself whether it works for your site.
